This bill aims to provide significant legal protection to entities involved in producing essential infrastructure components, establishing immunity for manufacturers of critical infrastructure equipment. It grants these manufacturers immunity from lawsuits and liability under both Federal and State law. This protection specifically covers all claims for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from wildfire incidents . However, this immunity does not apply if there is proof that the manufacturer engaged in willful misconduct during the design or production of such equipment. The bill defines "critical infrastructure" by reference to the USA PATRIOT Act and "manufacturer" by the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022.
